[HTC Inspire 4G] klquicksall:
Probably the best way to root your phone is the inspire hack kit. Its easy to follow and there is a ton of support for it.

The main pros are free wifi tether, side loading enabled, hsupa enabled, and tons of mods.

The cons would be if you have to take it back to att you will have to go through an unrooted process. Its not to hard but still a hassle. I can honestly stay rooted is the best way to really enjoy your phone.

Stock look

ClearD rom. Ive tried it and I haven't had any problems with it.

TPC Rom. Its stock with an over clocked kernel

DHD Rom

Android Revolution is fast and stable stock look

RCMix HD fast and stable and made with transparency.

These are the ones Ive used and they all work.

Have fun with your phone.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bmolloy:
Did you reflash the radio on any of these Roms? I am rooted and about to try some Roms but don't really want to deal with flashing radios.
[HTC Inspire 4G] lrs421:
Why not? Its really easy. Check the development threads. No need for eng s-off.

[HTC Inspire 4G] klquicksall:
I have used both the recommend radio for the roms and the att raido. They all work fine.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Xenomaniac:
I'm thinking about making my own UI interface using photoshop and creating a launch as well. Is it something that is really easy to do? I'm a big Aliens fan (H.R. Giger, not that ****ty AvP movie bull****) and would love to make a custom UI or at least make sounds for when I press a button (thinking about when I shut down hearing Hudson saying "that's it man, game over man game over!")

I'm probably getting way ahead of myself seeing that I'm still new to all of this.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Xenomaniac:
Which is the best rom or are they all essentially the same?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] minho422:
I currently have super clean 2.9.1 + voodoo kernel with JAMT minimalist theme, but I feel like I'm losing more battery than usual.

I had 2 full days of moderate usage right out of the box (wifi always on and screen half the brightness), but now it drops down to 20~30% for about 7 hours of moderate usage with 0 brightness. Also I'm getting random shut-downs at least once a day.

I've now calibrated my battery (at least I think so...don't know for sure), but the battery life stayed the same as before; short.

I'm impressed that I get 1500~1700 on Quadrant, but I don't know if that performance is ever needed for my usage...

I suspect that everyone gets different results with all the roms, but anyway which rom is the most stable with excellent battery life, and with no crash in general?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xHoLyx:
Random shut-down is probably caused by not flashin ROM properly.

Did you calibrated your battery using BStats.zip @ 100% battery level?

No clashing just means that if you did install ROM properly or not most of the time.

I've just flashed SC 2.9.2 NV/EC10 and it is working flawless right now.

I haven't tested the GPS, I don't use it.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] minho422:
I've already gone back to stock to 2.9.1 about 7 times, and yes I flashed Bstats.zip since the "wipe battery stat" option did not work.

Perhaps repetitive rom installation causes the crash? I don't know for sure...
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xHoLyx:
It shouldn't crash even after times of flashin.

I've flashed my phone like 15 times now but works just fine.

Just go to CWM mode and Wipe Cache/Dalvik/Data and reinstall the ROM.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] minho422:
is it okay to restore my settings with red recovery (nandroid is it?), after reinstallation? or would that restore the crash problems too? I really don't want to set up settings/widgets/apps etc all over again...

and thanks for helping out again!
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xHoLyx:
Nandroid Backup Backups to EXACT state u have backed it up. So, it would cause crashing again. I recommend you to backup data using TiBu(Titanium Backup). Then install ROM. I know it sucks to back up apps again, but better than your phone keep crashin, right?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] minho422:
yeah that's what I thought would happen. I'm installing DI01 right now, so I guess I'll just reset all my settings ugh...:mad:
[Epic 4G General] DiGi760:
You root EC05 the same way we've rooted every froyo build. Anything that uses the rageagainstthecage exploit still works. Z4root still does not work.

Do we have to go over this with every update?
[Epic 4G General] plasmata:
Noob says yes. :D

[Galaxy Tab General] {Diemex}:
I've got a pc screen with a hdmi in.

I've just ordered a galaxy tab and I've also got a 16Gb sd card.

And I would like to watch my mkvs on my screen and on tvs of friends.

The movies range from 5-12gb, but are roughly about 8gb big.

I'm not so happy with any solution I've found yet,

actually the only solution I could find, was to part my mkvs somehow and then put them on the sdcard. But I'm too lazy to do that with every movie. 16gb isnt a lot of storage either.

Can u think of a better solution, could I maybe make the sdcard ntfs, so I dont have to part the movies, will the tab recognize it?

My favorite solution still would be a 2,5' hdd with the movies on and plugged in to a usb-charger. But no camera-connection-kit :(
[Galaxy Tab General] AlexTheStampede:
I might be wrong, but the tab can do HDMI only with the dock.

Aside from that, some kernels have support for ext file systems, you might have better luck using that one.
[Captivate General] MNMichael:
Greetings,

I've never had an Android phone. I'm still using a Behold and a Storm II for work.

I bought a Nook Color, and I've been running Honeycomb for a few weeks.

I'm ready to bail on T-Mobile and go to ATT while I can still get a good deal on a phone for being a new customer, and the refurb Captivate is free.

I'll try the OEM 2.2 release, then probably root.

If you knew then what you know now, would you still get a Captivate?
[Captivate General] ConeyKiller:
I would, imho still the most customizable phone out there. I was mad because 4 days after my 30 day the phone was free for black friday.
[Captivate General] sofia-captivate:
I would buy it . If u don't wana wait if u wait till first week of April Samsung galaxy s2 is coming with all the frequency bands on it. So its 3g compatible basically with all carriers.
[Captivate General] dark42:
Get an Inspire, so much better.
[Captivate General] Pierce533:
The deal with the refurb phone is that you run a chance at getting one that has a shutdown problem. There are still some refurbs floating around in their stock that hasn't been repaired by Samsung (despite what AT&T claims) that resolves a random shutdown problem. I know this because I got a refurb that had this problem and I had to send it to Samsung to have it repaired (I got my Cappy last December).

Other than the problem I had with it initially the phone rocks and I am glad I got it at the price of a two year contract renewal and no more.
[Captivate General] ccdoggy:
DONT GET A REFURB. you want the full warranty just in case.

The main problems with Captivates is the crappy (useless on stock) GPS, warranty is good for getting a replacement if your phone has issues. The other problem is the random shutdown problem. it happened to an earlier batch and doubtful you would get one with that issue.

I LOVE mine, best screen i have seen and a great phone with a custom ROM which is not too difficult to install.
[Captivate General] xdahgary:
I beg to differ. We got better display (samoled), more roms, more kernels, and more developers. What about unlocking? We got that. HTC don't. Ton of themes. HTC is heavy and the battery case is hard to open. We got 16gb on board and HTC got 8gb. Maybe I just like my captivate. :cool:
[Captivate General] dark42:
I used to have a Cappy, so I know what I'm talking about. Glad I ditched it.

Display - yeah, SAMOLED is better, although it's pretty good on the Inspire as well.

Roms - I've only tried CM7 on the Inspire, but it's been far nicer than any of the custom roms I've tried on the Captivate. The Cappy ones are great, but CM7 just has so many more features. I know you guys are getting CM7, eventually, but looks like it'll take a while.

Unlocking - yes it is possible to unlock the Inspire, in fact the initial rooting program does it for you.

Weight - it's a little heavier than my old Cappy but it doesn't bother me too much.

Battery door - it was only hard to open the first few times, now it's easy.

Memory - yes Cappy has more to begin with, but it is possible to change out the SD card in the Inspire to a bigger one. Cappy has 16gb internal, Inspire has an 8gb SD card bundled.

Oh yeah the Inspire's GPS actually works pretty well, and HTC actually seems to care about putting updates out for their phones. That was my biggest gripe with the Captivate, is just that Samsung didn't seem to give a **** about their customers after sale. Of course custom roms and such from here were very helpful.
[Captivate General] vaiol123:
No. Wait for the Galaxy S2
[Captivate General] PaullikesWINMO:
If you weren't so close to other phones (and better phones) being launched, I would say get a Captivate. At this point though, wait for the new phones. Plus you never know with AT &T now buying T-Mobile, the deals should be a plenty.
[Captivate General] phonex1:
First week of April? You sure?
[Captivate General] slmhofy:
Captivate is an awesome phone minus the GPS issue which a lot of the roms do seem to "almost" fix. Awesome battery life, great screen and TONS of roms.

If you can't wait, get it... But if I were you, I'd wait for the S2.
[Captivate General] jetpuck73:
I say yes!!!
[Captivate General] sofia-captivate:
Yep
[Captivate General] sofia-captivate:
I have HTC desire and captivate. And love my captivate. About more roms, kernels, and developers HTC do have more. And they do get updates faster than any company. Either way I love my cappuccino
[Captivate General] shadow65781:
captivates a great phone inspire is a great phone,and the gs2 will be a great phone.

take your pick.
[Captivate General] TheBassman369:
My Inspire destroys my Captivate. Even unlocking the phone is faster. The Inspire has Sense ROM's, MIUI and Cyanogenmod support, a true AOSP build in the works, and RoyalLiquid is being ported from the MyTouch 4G. The Captivate has just now gotten Cyanogenmod support. Pretty much everything else in the Captivate Dev section is the same ROM with a different theme (no offence to the Capybara devs).

The Captivate has one thing over the Inspire: a SAMOLED screen.

All of this being said, it's all fact beside the first sentence. YMMV. They're both awesome phones but better phones are around the corner.
[Captivate General] tupirujp:
I gat a refurb 5 days later sent it back when I knew they will send

Me a new cuz I talk to the insuranse first and now I gat a 300 dls phone for free
[Captivate General] boborone:

.....
[Captivate General] Funzy32:
All in all, the Captivate is a great contender when it comes to these kinda phones. I love this thing. lol
[Captivate General] mfdemicco:
In my opinion, the screen is the most important part of the phone. The GPS sucks however, even with custom ROMs. I would wait for the Galaxy S2.
[Captivate General] Islan06:
If you are willing to deal with the following issues then you should buy a cappy:

1) Random Shut downs:(

2) Force closure

3) GPS issues

Otherwise, I would seriously consider purchasing a different model, i.e., inspire, Galaxy II etc.. :)
[Captivate General] amtrakcn:
FC is not an actual problem... Just depends on your firmware.

Random shutdown can be solved by undervolt(most random shutdowns are caused by overvolt for unknown reason)
[Captivate General] TheBassman369:
To be honest, there's really not that much difference between the two screens in my eyes, but you're right--the SGS2 will blow both of them out of the water. I just hope that AT&T gets it so I can use a contract renewal on it.

[G Tablet General] fidju:
I am about to receive a brand new G Tab that I ordered off Amazon. I have a few questions and I have seen contradicting answers so I figured I might as well make a post.

I plan on installing a ROM on day one, probably TNT Lite 4.20. Is it recommended that i connect to wi-fi and run any updates first, or should I just jump right in and flash away? I don't know enough about ROMs to know if it will flash over anything that ViewSonic updates or if it supplements them, so any responses would be helpful.

Thanks
[G Tablet General] donatom3:
Return it before opening and buy it on woot.com. Normally I'd feel more bad about saying this but Amazon owns woot now.
[G Tablet General] butchconner:
fidju,

I've been telling people to let the stock update and get used to the tablet and read and learn how to do what here before making any changes.

Lots of people having problems trying to do too much too fast.

Check it out in the forums.

[G Tablet General] K J Rad:
Within a few minutes of getting it online you'll get an update notification. Let it do the update and that will put you at a good baseline for any of the other ROMs. I like the TnT Lite path and have been using it for a daily driver since I started modding. Stable and smooth. Good for media consumption and general communications duties. Roebeet is updating the ROM to 4.3.0 with some enhanced recovery options to address some of the problems people have had recently.
[G Tablet General] fidju:
where do you see it on woot?
[G Tablet General] fidju:
thank you for this information. that is the general vibe that i get from reading about TNT lite. cant wait to get it!
[G Tablet General] Mantara:
The sale is over now so that's out.

I would suggest that you Let it update so you can make a recovery of it. That way if you always have a blackout back to stock. That way when viewsonic sends out its next OTA you can always flash back to try it out. Plus word on the wind is the next OTA may change the firmware quite a bit. (Maybe an essential step by VS to eventually get to honeycomb, just rumor though.)

Good luck and have fun. :-)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jedijackie:
I use my phone for work and just leave it plugged in whenever on a conference call, so the screen doesn't time out (checked setting). Now I love the feature of the screen blacking out via proximity sensor whenever not using a BT, just my ear, then the screen turning back on when I move my head away.

However, whenever I'm away from the charger and on a call using my BT earpiece, the screen times out very quick. And there's no way to get the screen back on using the power button at that point, as it'll just hang up the call. My BT does not have mute functionality, and there are times when I need to click Mute or use the dial pad... and at that point, I'm SOL.

I've put a Screen On widget on my desktop and in the notification bar, but the screen times out too quickly for me to remember to tick it. And that's a pain to do anyway on every BT call when not connected to power.

Question... Is there any kind of setting that once the bluetooth option is checked in the dialer, that the screen could stay on longer? Or would this need a mod? Thanks.
[Desire General] wardy277:
I have been using Ginger villain for a while now and bought a new sdcard (upgraded from class 4 16Gb to class 6 16Gb)

I can put files on the card, so i know the card is ok but when i try to restore apps using titanium backup or install new (or update) apps via market the phone reboots.

I am running Ginger Villain 1.6, ext3 partition 1Gb (no swap), S-OFF with bravo_alphaspl-sense.img amon ra (for the larger data partition)

Any ideas why it keeps rebootin? I have also tried another rom (gingersense 0.3) but the same thing happened.

I have reverted back to my original SD card and I can inzstall apps fine. I thought it must be the card so I tried formatting it using the recovery partition sdcard but that still didn't fix it

[Desire General] wardy277:
I dont know if this effects anyhting, but i wanted to check that this was a class6 card as i have had a fake before.

I used ubuntu's disk utility to benchmark the card, it required the partition table to be wiped. I wiped it did the benchmark (was happy with the speed), then used Gparted to recreate the partition table in msdos format.

Could this be causing the issue? Testdisk says the card is set to 16 cylinder head but recomends 255, woudl the incorrect partition table casue android to reboot when writing to it?

I can use the card fine through ubuntu and windows

Gosh I've got the same issue too. It's most annoying. Setup as listed in signature. Full wipe was performed, and after that I began to install apps from the Market which was OK. It wasn't until I restored with Titanium Backup PRO when things started to go haywire in the manner described by wardy277. Pretty annoying ay? This issue is well reported but I can't find a fix yet. Maybe Titanium Backup is not fully compatible with the new Android 2.3.4 base?

I set up my email yahoo account on my LG One 2.2 phone. I accidentally deleted an important email and now it is sitting in the Trash folder on my phone. It does not sync with my yahoo account online so it is not recoverable there.

My problem now is getting this email out of the Trash folder on my phone to somewhere I can reply or forward it.

Unfortunately the only options I have on the phone are 'mark as unread' and 'delete'. The reply and forward are greyed out. Since I need to show proof of this email to someone far away i can't really show them my phone.

Since it is there on the phone there must be a place android stores these trashed emails, I have file expert however it is of little help.

Can anyone please advise on how I can get this email back to where I can do something with it?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ginn7:

I am going to swap phones very soon so if this email is located somewhere on the actual phone it may get wiped out and I will not be able to retrieve it...
